Promoting the Konoha threat theory, and talking about the Hidden Mist Belt!

Hozuki Shingetsu silently made a mental note of this.

Since he transmigrated, he has always been the one scheming against others; when has he ever been schemed against so badly?

He would be a despicable person if he didn't avenge this!

He already had a complete idea for how to design Black Zetsu, but now it seems... he still needs to add some elements!

However, the most important thing right now is not to deal with Black Zetsu, but to figure out how to deal with the Three-Tails and Six-Tails' rampage, as well as... the attack by the Mizukage and Kaguya!

At this moment, everyone present from the Hozuki faction looked at Hozuki Shingetsu, awaiting his orders—since Hozuki Shingetsu had successfully planned several times in a row, he had successfully taken over the position of Hozuki Zangetsu and automatically assumed the responsibilities of the commander.

"Fifth Elder, please take the ninjas present and help deal with the Three-Tails!"

Hozuki Shingetsu cut through the chaos with swift strokes. Given the uncertainty of friend and foe, it would be best for all the ninjas from the smaller ninja clans present to disappear!

In such a chaotic moment, it's impossible to discern sides, so let's just use the previous excuse to send all these people to deal with the berserk Yagura!

Led by the Fifth Elder of the Uzumaki clan, these people should have more than enough power to deal with a rampaging Three-Tails Jinchuriki!

The other ninjas present also noticed something amiss from Ren's calm expression. Realizing something, they immediately felt a pang of disgust towards Ren—suppression is one thing, but what's the meaning of releasing the tailed beast without regard for the village?

It's not wrong for you to suppress Hozuki, after all, the Hozuki clan has no vested interests with them. But what about the damage caused by releasing the Tailed Beasts?

Ren's previous actions could be considered as a personal grudge between him and Hozuki's side, but at this moment, his current seat can definitely be considered to have aroused public outrage!

But when asked to stay and deal with Lian directly, they hesitated greatly—that's how neutral parties are; they look before they know what's going on and never take a gamble before the outcome is certain. They can only add to the glory, but never offer help in times of need.

For them, neither the personal grudge between Ren and Hozuki, nor the greater good of the village, could compare to their own little family.

Especially now, with both tailed beasts rampaging at the same time, what would happen to the tailed beasts if they turned their guns on Ren?

What about the villagers outside?

Or rather, what about their property and their people?

Besides, whether the Tailed Beast was actually released by Ren is debatable, isn't it? Once the rampaging Tailed Beast Jinchuriki is subdued, the truth will become clear.

Therefore, Hozuki Shingetsu's suggestion was exactly what they wanted, since dealing with the Three-Tails was also serving the village, wasn't it?

It's amazing that they can also escape the battle between the Water Shadow and Hozuki.

Ren did not stop these ninjas from leaving.

Clearly, he shared the same thoughts as Hozuki Shingetsu, since he was the one who knew best who was at the root of the tailed beast rampage, and he was equally uneasy about these neutral factions.

"Lord Yoshio, you will be taking the Uzumaki clan ninjas to deal with the Six-Tails in a moment!"

Hozuki Shingetsu looked at Uzumaki Yoshio, who was anxious and worried, and said this.

Having just left their homeland to arrive in Kirigakure, their clan's territory was attacked by a tailed beast. Under these circumstances, it was unrealistic to force them to stay, so he directly sent the Uzumaki clan back to deal with the Six-Tails.

Immediately afterward, ignoring the surprised looks from everyone present, Hozuki Shingetsu said, "And... I'll be going with you all!"

That's right, he has made up his mind to become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki today!

Black Zetsu's unexpected attack disrupted his plans. At this point, there were very few elders left in the Uzumaki clan who could use the "Dead Demon Seal," and he also had to take care of two areas where the tailed beasts were rampaging. If White Zetsu were to attack at this moment, he would inevitably be overwhelmed.

Therefore, at this moment, he must fight with all his might!

At this point, his combat strength as a Jonin was at best useless in this kind of battle; he could only play a minor role by using a mirage.

Only by using his cheat ability to become a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast and successfully reach the Kage level can he play a decisive role in the subsequent chaos!

After glancing at the venue, Hozuki Shingetsu handed over command to his father and left the mansion with a group of Uzumaki ninjas without looking back.

Ren watched Hozuki Shingetsu's departing figure without stopping him.

Despite Hozuki Shingetsu's sharp mind, as a newly promoted Jonin, his role in this situation is limited.

For him now, the more important thing is to deal with the rebels led by Hozuki Zangetsu!

Once these people are eliminated, Hozuki Shingetsu is nothing but a clown, easily defeated with a snap of the fingers!

"Heh, it seems that after all the scheming and plotting, it all comes down to us!"

Lian looked at the ghost lantern and the moon opposite her, her tone somewhat inexplicable.

"Yes, I've wanted to fight this battle for over a decade." Hozuki Zangetsu downed his drink in one gulp and then smashed the glass on the ground.

As the cup in Hozuki Zangetsu's hand fell to the ground, a large number of Hozuki ninjas dressed in white filed in, and together with the Yuki clan ninjas, they surrounded Ren, Kaguya Yoshio, and the others.

At the same time, a large number of ninjas dressed in gray also appeared here.

Among them, besides Kaguya, who had a red mole between her eyebrows and a crazy expression, the four ninjas dressed in strange clothes and wielding various long swords were the most eye-catching.

That was none other than the "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist," founded by the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, and directly subordinate to the Mizukage!

"It seems that Tachibana Haruhiko is indeed problematic... But it doesn't matter, four are enough."

Upon seeing this, Lian immediately understood who was behind it all. However, he didn't care, because compared to their opponents, they were currently in a stronger position.

"Lord Remnant Moon, as the direct subordinate force of the Mizukage, I believe you, who share the same bloodline as Lord Phantom Moon, can understand our actions at this moment?"

The tall, ferocious-looking, red-haired Watermelon Pufferfish Demon touched the Samehada in his hand and grinned.

"So, I'm sorry to offend you later! I promise I'll make sure you die without any pain."

"Heh... It seems you really know how to faithfully carry out Lord Huan Yue's will!"

Of course, Hozuki Zangetsu knew that when Hozuki Gengetsu founded the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he had made it clear that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's duty was to be the Mizukage's direct subordinate force and to be loyal only to the Mizukage.

Therefore, objectively speaking, from the perspective of Kirigakure, the actions of Suigetsu Hozuki and others are actually a good thing.

"Further words are useless. From this day forward, there will be no place for you in Kirigakure!"

With a burst of power, Lian used a teleportation technique to appear in front of Hozuki Renge and begin fighting him.

As if a signal had been activated, the other ninjas present also brandished their weapons and began searching for opponents, following Ren's movements.

Kaguya the Ninja versus Hozuki the Ninja, Kaguya Yoshio versus Yukihira Kyo, the head of the Yuki clan, and the four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist leading the Anbu against the Yuki clan ninja—thus began their duel.

The banquet hall, which was just filled with laughter and joy, was suddenly stained with blood!

There's still 4K this afternoon.

Chapter 84 Hozuki Shingetsu: If one wishes to pacify Kirigakure, in this present age...

hold head high!

The bizarre, gigantic slug howled at the moon, venting its resentment at being imprisoned by humans for so many years. Its enormous tentacles, which it waved at will, easily destroyed buildings.

As it moved, slime continuously slid off its body surface. The moment it hit the ground, a white smoke and a pungent odor appeared, and the earth was instantly corroded and riddled with holes.

At the same time, the cries of children, the desperate shouts of adults, and the roars of resentment echoed all around, turning the once joyful Kirigakure into a living hell in an instant!

The villagers of Kirigakure could never have imagined that at the beginning of Kirigakure's 33rd year, on this day when the whole village was joyfully preparing for a new life, such a shocking tragedy would occur.

Kirigakure is located overseas, so the probability of it being attacked by foreign enemies is not high. In addition, the Daimyo's attitude towards Kirigakure has changed, and the military budget has increased significantly this year. Everyone is looking forward to a bright future. Therefore, under these circumstances, the damage caused by the Six-Tails' rampage is particularly severe.

The first to be affected were the Uzumaki clan.

Tonight, most of the elite members of the Uzumaki clan were taken to the Hozuki Mansion by the current clan leader, Yoshio Uzumaki, to prepare for a battle against the Mizukage's faction.

Only the elderly Elder Uzumaki and a small number of clansmen were left to guard the clan's territory—for such internal strife in a ninja village, raiding the clan's home was of little significance.

After all, as long as you concentrate your superior forces to take down your key figures, what can you do even if you steal your home?

Moreover, although those who remained lacked ambition, they were more than capable of resisting the enemy thanks to the ingenious arrangements made by the Uzumaki clan.

As a foreign ninja clan that had just experienced war and left their homeland to settle in the Land of Water, the Uzumaki clan's unease had long been at its peak.

During their time in Kirigakure, they did nothing but one thing.

That is to use various sealing formations to increase the defense of the clan's territory without limit.

Now, even if the Kaguya clan were to attack with their entire clan, the Uzumaki clan would dare to declare that they would never return.

However, what they didn't expect was that what attacked tonight was not a human, but a tailed beast.

All the explosive tag traps and sealing formations designed for humans seem so laughable in the face of the Tailed Beast's enormous size.

With a casual wave of its tentacles, it can cause the traps painstakingly set by the Uzumaki clan to self-destruct.

A mouthful of thick phlegm turned the seemingly impregnable Whirlpool Clan territory into a sieve.

Caught completely off guard, the Whirlpool Clan's territory was now littered with corpses, with Whirlpool Clan members, their hair a vibrant red, lying scattered across the ground.

"Have the remaining tribesmen all been sent away?"

The old elder looked at the rampaging Six-Tails not far away, his face filled with barely suppressed rage.

This anger wasn't just directed at the Six-Tails, but also at the Mizukage, the Kaguya clan... and even Hozuki Shingetsu.

They had left the Land of Whirlpools because of the war, hoping to live a peaceful life in Kirigakure, a place far from the mainland.

But unexpectedly, less than two months after moving here, the tailed beasts started rioting right at his doorstep. How could he not harbor resentment towards Kirigakure?

However, despite his anger, the reality of his marriage alliance with the Hozuki clan made him realize that standing firmly with the Hozuki clan was the right choice.

"They've all been sent away, especially Kushina Uzumaki, who is now in a safe place."

"That's good... As long as Kushina Uzumaki is safe, the Uzumaki clan's situation won't get too bad."

The elder looked up at the six-tailed fox that was still destroying the building, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Then, next up is this beast."

"Deliberately placing the Six-Tails next to my Uzumaki clan is treating us like pushovers... Since Takumi was willing to sacrifice himself for the Uzumaki clan back then, why shouldn't I do the same now!"
